Zac Efron Workout Routine To Get Jacked: How He Went From Scrawny To Brawny

If I was a girl I would totally want to do things to him like make him taco, run my hands through his eyelashes, and read Harry Potter to him.

But I’m not a girl so um…okay this is getting weird.

In all seriousness, Zac Efron has made a seriously impressive body transformation over the last few years.

From looking lean and defined in Neighbors to now getting totally jacked & ripped in the new Baywatch movie.

How did he pull it off?

I don’t know his exact workout and methods but I have a pretty good idea.

Here’s how you can pull of a similar Zac Efron body transformation if you follow the steps below.

Zac Efron’s physique from Neighbors to Baywatch (2013-2016)

Comparing Zac Efron’s physique Neighbors and before to how he looks in Baywatch, he’s like a completely different dude.

He put on at least 10 pounds of solid muscle on his upper body and looks like an absolute beast now.

I remember how a ton of guys wondered how Efron got in shape for Neighbors, but his Baywatch physique is at a whole other level.

Getting a body like him in Neighbors is more of a fat loss issue where you need to focus on losing fat but if you want to look like Zac in Baywatch, then you really need to focus on lifting hard and eating more.

Zac Efron’s height, weight, measurements, blah blah bah…

For neighbors Zac Efron stands in a 5’9″ and weighs about 155-160 pounds.

But for Baywatch, I would estimate that Zac Efron is about 5-10 pounds heavier putting him at 165-170 pounds.

As you can tell from his physique, he’s not huge and he’s not super shredded but he does have excellent muscle density, low body fat (10%’ish), and a great shoulder-to-waist ratio which is why his physique looks so damn good.

The crazy thing is that he’s about the same body fat in both Neighbors and Baywatch, he simply has much more muscle in the latter.

3 secrets to building a body like Zac Efron

Most people reading this are looking for that one special food, exercise, or technique…and believe that’s the secret to getting a ripped like Efron.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

The real secret is plain old hard work and consistency.

Sexy, I know.

But there are a few tricks of the trade you can use to help speed up the process of getting a body like Efron.

People always ask me for a specific list of foods that they should eat if they want to get ripped but that list doesn’t exist.

You can pretty much eat anything you want and still get ripped.

You just need to understand that there’s a lot of give and take.

So if you want to eat a doughnut and still lose fat, just know that the doughnut is probably going to take up 25% of your entire day’s calorie intake so you’re not going to feel very satiated.

But I do have a universal set of diet philosophy that I always tell people to follow: Make sure you’re in a calorie deficit every day, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, emphasize protein (at least 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight per day), don’t skimp on fats, and don’t live on chicken and brown rice, have fun 🙂
